Description

An enhanced version of the Wallace 3D printer.
Features a more stable X-carriage construction which balances the extruder body over 2 horizontally mounted rods. It uses less screws & bolts than the original Wallace.
Some features :

Y-mount.stl & y-bearing-guide.stl : An enhanced mount for centering the Y-axis belt. Gives you a more stable pull.

I was looking into making a Wallace and I was wondering if you switch all the Rods both Threaded and non on this design to M8? Or is it a combination of M6 and M8 like punkrockseb?

I ask because I am also Redesigning his build the Wallace+++ to have a better base.
I am doing this as I am going to be embarking on a Large Build Scale Print Area.
I have 1M M6 and M8 Rods on Hold Locally. So you can take a guess as to my Print Area when I am done.
I just need to know about the print sizes on parts due to the fact I am switching from a QB Two Up to this.

Did anyone succesfull mount a fan. Have printed some cooling duct fans but none of them fitted to my liking.
I don't have any problem with the extruder, but i want to cool the filament for bridging and small print objects.
If someone can point me a fitting stl. Thanks.

Instructions

Print these :

2 x base_end_2off.stl ( base )

3 x y_bearing_retainer.stl

1 x y_bearing_retainer_stopswitch.stl

1 x X-carriage.stl

1 x X-end2-idler.stl

1 x X-end2-motor.stl

1 x Y-bearing-guide.stl

1 x y-mount-nema17.stl OR y-mount.stl : use the nema17 version if you want to mount the stepper motor directly on the Y-drive , use the other one if you want to mount your Y-motor on your printer base.

Hi, I double checked the SCAD file , the diameter of the bearing holes is 15cm.
I added a ZIPfile with all the SCAD files so you can verify / adapt to your needs. The parameters are in wallace2.scad
Let me know if it worked... If anything is unclear, let me know.

Could you please provide some more photos so the assembly is easier ? Maybe the bottom part which is left out in the photo you've made.This would be really appreciated ! Thank you !

Also I have problems getting the LM8UU bearings into the holes in x_end_motor.stl. The hole has a diameter of 14.5mm and there is no scad file of it. Does this mean I have to grind until it fits ? Maybe this edition needs some overhaul so it actually works out of the printer...

y_bearing_retainer.stl and y_bearing_retainer_stopswitch.stl give errors in Slic3r (the latter has a hole reported on import, the former also and after processing has overlapping or self-intersecting facets,...)
Is this a known issue that doesn't cause any (real) printing problems ?
